Oh my god stop

When she recounts the accident (the child died and Ms. Halweil was not charged) you can really see her calm, philosophical and open demeanor. In an almost plaintive voice, she said: “It was clear sky, clear road. I saw a flash of red coming toward my car.” She swerved but still hit the wagon. “I got out of the car and this really beautiful little girl with pale skin and blue eyes was laying in the road. Her eyes were glazed over. I knew the spirit had left her body.”

Today, she says the accident taught her about fate, her own and the girl’s, but at the time she was devastated.

"Think, laugh and love as often as possible; save money; check each other for ticks nightly to prevent Lyme disease; let the other person win sometimes; don't kill children; and, during difficult times, remember, this too shall pass."

“You always need to go a little further than you think you can in order to make progress,” said Mr. De Rosa, who in a single conversation might discuss Hindu deities, the connection between the knees and the ego, an energy healer he admires, Indian spices, juice cleanses and his ideas about love (timing is everything).

“I needed to transition from my party life into my balanced life,”

actually this is my favorite part:

As 150 guests looked on and bamboo flute music played, Ms. Halweil appeared wearing a backless dress designed by Nili Lotan on a lawn decorated with modern sculptures including an enormous one by Urs Fischer of a yellow teddy bear.

The bride described the color of her dress as “pigeon-blood red.” The groom was the one who wore white. He had on a Nehru-style suit the shade of coconut milk, lined with jewels around the lapels and neck.

the pigeon-blood red detail feels key

yes

The bride described the color of her dress as “5-year-old-girl red.”

Is "the shade of coconut-milk" perceptibly different from "white"?

im sorry but the best, and by best i mean absolute worst, part of that story is her storybook description of the time she killed a child, followed by the intimation that she learned a lot from the experience, though it sucked at the time

Get those toddler's away from her.

oops. wallet size and blow-up for you.

The bride described the color of her dress as “5-year-old-girl red.”

actual spit-take

Meant to include a "-blood" after "girl" but I guess in context that gets filled in anyway.

Today, she says the accident taught her about fate, her own and the girl’s, but at the time she was devastated.

some people take a minute to process

The thing is I'm sure it was totally not her fault, and I'm sure it was horrible to go through. And probably was a life-changing event that you could write an insightful and nonobjectionable New Yorker essay about. It's just ... talking about it in this context is so repulsive. Especially with big happy photos of her with her own kids. I hope the dead girl's family just didn't see the article, but what are the odds of that?

sometimes you run over a kid and its a celebrated novel by a midlist author, sometimes you run over a kid and its yr wedding announcement

talking about it in this context is so repulsive. Especially with big happy photos of her with her own kids.

The article casts the child's death as the impetus for their yoga-themed meet cute and it's super gross.

For the Times, style is always king. Even the manslaughter is stylish:

In the advertising and start-up worlds, an influencer is a person, product or campaign that gets everyone else talking, tweeting and buying.

can't who is worse, the people in this article or the people in the nyer san fran tech article

Grooooooooooosss

I tune out anyone on social media who starts to sound like a constant advertisement even if I like what they're advertising. It grosses me out.

So basically the guy throws a party for influencers with the purpose of getting the influencers to popularize his party for influencers
